I CAN BREATHE AGAIN
I don’t even know where to begin to describe my little one’s sleep. I feel quite emotional writing this out cause things were so bad and there was numerous times when I didn’t even know if I could physically keep going being trapped in the cycle of sleep deprivation. Some days I felt so upset with myself as I wasn’t being the mother I wanted to be for my children because of how tired I was. For around 8 months I haven’t had more than 4 hours sleep a night (which was broken) I’m sure many people thought I was exaggerating with just how little sleep I got but honestly it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through. I got to the point where I thought my baby just didn’t sleep well and that was it, I’d better just lower my expectations and get on with it. But I was SO wrong. My biggest regret is not reaching out for help sooner. You have literally saved me and my family. If anyone has any doubts whether to message you or take the plunge to ask for your help then please just do it, I promise you will not regret it. For the first time ever I feel confident I can help my little boy and know what I’m doing. This is all down to your amazing support and guidance. We have not only got rid of my little ones dummy as it was affecting his sleep, but we have had a week of him either sleeping through the night or one wake up for a feed. I used to feel so anxious once night time came around but I don’t need to anymore. Not once was my baby left to cry and be distressed which has made this process stress free and easier than I could have imagined. How you manage to be on hand 24/7 whilst looking after 4 little ones is just mind blowing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.. I feel like I can breathe again and I think I might be able to finally get my spark back and my two little ones have a mammy they deserve x 🤍
